Divisionals
Divisional age groups are played for points and Championships, Promotion and Relegation in the U13 to U18 age groups.
The Club will run trials for its top competition squads in the Mixed competition age groups (and if player numbers exceed 16 in the Female competitions). These trials occur in late October through to early December, with successful players provided with a Letter of Offer, and unsuccessful players able to register in our other squads when the online registration system becomes available for the new Season.
